Marcelo and his friend Chris are exploring a new country in a rented car. They are looking for a restaurant called 'The Best Steak in Town'. However, they are completely lost. The directions they were given were very difficult to follow, so they stop a stranger by the side of the road to ask him for directions. The stranger smiles and replies: “Oh, that’s a really popular restaurant. I can tell you how to get there. It’s really simple”. Chris takes out a paper and pencil and begins to make notes. The stranger continues.

“Drive straight ahead until you see a house with a broken fence. Make a right after that house and keep going until you pass two big rocks on the left. Soon after that you will see a bush that looks like a giant cockroach. Turn left at that bush and keep going for another twenty minutes. You should pass two gas stations on your right. About a mile after the second gas station, you will see three mounds of dirt and a house with a horse tied to a tree. Make a right at that house and it will be the second restaurant on your left. The sign is broken but you can’t miss it. It has a rock next to it that looks like a bear holding a sword. You may see a few people standing outside drinking beer. Good luck!”
